Besides the LCLS-II project, ATAP is also involved in two other DOE light source upgrades, the Advanced Proton Source Upgraded (APS-U) at Argonne National Laboratory, (headed for CD-1) and the Advanced Light Source (ALS) (conceptual) located at Berkeley Lab. The ALS upgrade would include a new storage ring, upgrades to injector, photon optics, and conventional facilities. The plan is for a three order of magnitude increase in brightness.

A new effort within the ATAP division is the Berkeley Center for Magnet Technology (BCMT). The Center’s mission is to serve as a focus for design in magnetic systems and science for DOE-OFS (Office of Science). This is a newly formed effort that intends to be the leading center for accelerator magnetic technology. Some of their goals are to generate new applications, develop new injector and solenoid magnets, and explore HTS applications outside High Energy Physics. Current programs at the BCMT include the LCLS-II permanent magnets, FRIB-ECR, DOE Gantry, LARP, and ASL PMUs. The Center believes that High Temperature Superconducting applications can’t be driven by HEP alone, they wish to develop applications outside HEP to help drive the market for new materials and techniques that then can be used in HEP. One current project is superconducting undulators in light sources.

All presentations from the day will be made available on the SPAFOA website.
